Another one from Cavocorax !
Happy to get to try some Adagio teas, finally!
This one was decent, not bad chocolate orange flavours…sort of reminds me of a way crappier version of Butiki’s Three Friends.
The flavours weren’t super potent, but nor did they taste particularly fake, so that’s good.
There was just nothing that really stood out about this cup, not the flavoring nor the base.
I gulped the rest of my cup down quick because hubster came home with a maple latte from Second Cup for me after work.
Which, incidentally, is a good indicator of where I am with tea again…. I was secretly like “ohhhh…that’s one less cup of tea i can drink today…” Rather than being tremendously excited like I would have been a month or two ago when I was still living for my daily (two or three) coffee(s)
:)
Thanks for passing this along, Cavo!

maple latte sounds lovely. Do they just use maple syrup instead of those expensive coffee syrups then? (Mind you, maple syrup is pricy enough in this country, but not quite to the same ridiculous degree)
You would think so, wouldn’t you, considering this is Canada! But no, that’s probably too expensive for them so they use a maple flavored coffee syrup, haha. Which I suppose is probably cheaper for them than pure maple syrup.
I bet with the proper kitchen tools a person could whip up a mean maple latte using real maple syrup, at home!
I used to get maple lattes all the time when I worked downtown. You can make your own coffee flavouring with a good quality maple flavour and sugar syrup. Or just use real maple in your coffee. :)
I’ve wondered if I should invest in one of those tiny little pots that can make espresso on the hob so I could have the occasional latte at home. It’s the only sort of coffee I drink, really, and I’ve sometimes wished I could have it at home as well, instead of only as a to-go sort of thing.
I used to have one, Angrboda, and I really liked it. I had a 2-cup one, I think? It made maybe 200ml. I’d recommend a stainless steel one for ease of cleaning.
Mal! All these Firefly teas makes me want to go watch Firefly again… for the millionth time. :-)

Real maple all the way :)

Yeah, I see them around frequently and they’re not even very expensive.
I was thinking the same thing recently! Just concerned I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to use it, haha
